High winds suspend play for Palmer, Humana Challenge field

Amarillo native Ryan Palmer was left twisting in the wind along with the rest of the field Saturday during the third round of the Humana Challenge in La Quinta, Calif.

Palmer was 1-under par for his round and 5-under par for the tournament, which was suspended due to high winds. The Amarillo High graduate, who is tied for 79th, still had one hole left to play before the tournament was suspended until Sunday and was on the bubble in terms of making the cut.

After a strong start with birdies on holes No. 2 and 3, Palmer had a pair of bogeys to fall back to even par before a birdie on 14 put him back in the red for the day. Palmer had three straight pars before play was suspended.
